Near-IR Spectroscopy and Population Synthesis of Super Star Clusters in NGC 1569
Andrea M. Gilbert, James R. Graham
We present H- and K-band NIRSPEC spectroscopy of super star clusters (SSCs) in the irregular starburst galaxy NGC 1569, obtained at the Keck Observatory. We fit these photospheric…
Three high-redshift millimeter sources and their radio and near-infrared identifications
F. Bertoldi, C. L. Carilli, K. M. Menten +11
We present millimeter wavelength detections of three faint sources that are most likely high-redshift starburst galaxies. For one of the sources, which was previously discovered wi…
The Nature of the Halo Population of NGC 5128 Resolved with NICMOS on the Hubble Space Telescope
Francine R. Marleau, James R. Graham, Michael C. Liu +1
We present the first infrared color-magnitude diagram (CMD) for the halo of a giant elliptical galaxy. The CMD for the stars in the halo of NGC 5128 (Centaurus A) was constructed f…
Measurement of [OIII] Emission in Lyman Break Galaxies
H. I. Teplitz, M. A. Malkan, C. C. Steidel +8
Measurements of [OIII] emission in Lyman Break galaxies (LBGs) at z>3 are presented. Four galaxies were observed with narrow-band filters using the Near-IR Camera on the Keck I 10-…
An excess of submm sources near 4C41.17: a candidate proto-cluster at z=3.8?
Rob J. Ivison, James S. Dunlop, Ian Smail +3
Biased galaxy-formation theories predict that massive galaxies at high redshifts should act as signposts to high-density environments in the early Universe, which subsequently evol…
Theoretical Predictions for Surface Brightness Fluctuations and Implications for Stellar Populations of Elliptical Galaxies
Michael C. Liu, Stephane Charlot, James R. Graham
(Abridged) We present new theoretical predictions for surface brightness fluctuations (SBFs) using models optimized for this purpose. Our predictions agree well with SBF data for g…
J-Band Infrared Spectroscopy of a Sample of Brown Dwarfs Using Nirspec on Keck II
Ian S. McLean, Mavourneen K. Wilcox, E. E. Becklin +7
Near-infrared spectroscopic observations of a sample of very cool, low-mass objects are presented with higher spectral resolution than in any previous studies. Six of the objects a…
The Rest-Frame Optical Spectrum of MS 1512-cB58
H. I. Teplitz, I. S. McLean, E. E. Becklin +6
Moderate resolution, near-IR spectroscopy of MS1512-cB58 is presented, obtained during commissioning of the the Near IR Spectrometer (NIRSPEC) on the Keck II telescope. The strong…
Hot Stars and Cool Clouds: The Photodissociation Region M16
N. A. Levenson, James R. Graham, Ian S. McLean +6
We present high-resolution spectroscopy and images of a photodissociation region (PDR) in M16 obtained during commissioning of NIRSPEC on the Keck II telescope. PDRs play a signifi…
Extremely Red Objects in the Field of QSO 1213-0017: A Galaxy Concentration at z=1.31
Michael C. Liu, Arjun Dey, James R. Graham +4
We have discovered a concentration of extremely red objects (EROs; R-K>6) in the field of the z=2.69 quasar QSO 1213-0017 (UM 485), which is significantly overabundant compared to…
K-Band Spectroscopy of an Obscured Massive Stellar Cluster in the Antennae Galaxies (NGC 4038/4039) with NIRSPEC
A. M. Gilbert, J. R. Graham, I. S. McLean +6
We present infrared spectroscopy of the Antennae Galaxies (NGC 4038/4039) with NIRSPEC at the W. M. Keck Observatory. We imaged the star clusters in the vicinity of the southern nu…
Discovery of an Obscured Broad Line Region in the High Redshift Radio Galaxy MRC 2025-218
James E. Larkin, Ian S. McLean, James R. Graham +7
This paper presents infrared spectra taken with the newly commissioned NIRSPEC spectrograph on the Keck II Telescope of the High Redshift Radio Galaxy MRC 2025-218 (z=2.63) These o…
Tests of the Accelerating Universe with Near-Infrared Observations of a High-Redshift Type Ia Supernova
Adam G. Riess, Alexei V. Filippenko, Michael C. Liu +25
We have measured the rest-frame B,V, and I-band light curves of a high-redshift type Ia supernova (SN Ia), SN 1999Q (z=0.46), using HST and ground-based near-infrared detectors. A…
